My mom's been trying to get me to read this, but then, she is a huge fan of southern writers - Flannery O'Connor, Faulkner, etc.
As a huge fan myself of O'Connor and Faulkner, I can say that this is not in that league. But it's quite good, nevertheless.
I was totally inclined to hate it--a historic novel in black-voice by a young white Southerner? But I gave up, because it's really pretty good.
